Brazil Ex President Jair Bolsonaro in Trouble: The troubles of former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro are not taking the name of abatement. A Brazilian court ruled that Jair Bolsonaro should return the precious jewelry received as a gift from Saudi Arabia within five days. Not only this, the court ordered an audit of all official gifts received by him during his presidency.
The Federal Court of Accounts (TCU), which oversees the state treasury, ordered Jair Bolsonaro to hand over two guns received as a gift from the United Arab Emirates in 2019 to the Rashtrapati Bhavan collection.
What does Brazilian law say
Under Brazilian law, public officials can only keep gifts that are highly personal and of minimum monetary value. Court President Bruno Dantas said during a public hearing that Bolsonaro had five days to return all the items.
